How to encrypt email addresses using JQuery

Question

Is there a way to use JQuery to cloak or encrypt email addresses on an HTML page without changing the syntax in the href?

Answer 1

Well, just as a comment, you probably want the source to have a cloaked email address and then use jQuery to fix or construct the link to have the correct address... because bots will be looking at the source, not the results of running your javascript ;-)

Answer 2

Using JQuery may not be the route you want to take since this would be on the client side... Is there a reason you're not encrypting on server side?
